About Jeff Hamilton:

Born in Morocco, Jeff Hamilton quickly emerged as a prominent figure in fashion. After studying mathematics and physics in Paris, he turned to fashion design, which led him to the United States where he left an indelible mark. As the first to license men's jeans for Guess, Hamilton has spent nearly four decades creating, becoming a fashion icon. Many celebrities wear his jackets, which are part of Hip-Hop, streetwear, and sportswear culture, including Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and others.


After working alongside Guess, he began designing leather jackets that are much more than just garments, but rather works of art. This marked the beginning of a journey spanning nearly four decades and counting, to become one of the most iconic jacket designers recognized by celebrities, athletes, and musicians worldwide. Jeff's career exploded in the early 90s when he had licensing deals with all major sports leagues. The legendary NBA championship jackets were the most recognizable, waiting in the locker room for Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls teammates as they won 6 titles.


This started a tradition that continued with Tim Duncan and David Robinson with the Spurs, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal; later - LeBron James, and Anthony Davis with the Lakers - to name just a few. The NBA also honored Jeff by commissioning him to create the official jackets for the 50th and 75th anniversary teams. Jeff's custom and unique jackets began appearing everywhere. From Axl Rose in a Guns N' Roses video to Will Smith in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, there was no segment of pop culture where his jackets did not appear. You might also recognize one of Jeff's designs worn by Martin Lawrence in the iconic TV show Martin.


He has a long-standing relationship with Nascar and has even created custom jackets for legendary driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. and American car designer Carroll Shelby. His A-List clientele is vast and has included Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mike Tyson, George Michael, Selena, and Muhammad Ali, to name just a few. Jeff's designs and work continue to be in high demand. Requests pour in continuously for licenses, collaborations, and unique custom art pieces. For example, current clients include Kevin Hart, Drake, Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Sprite, and Amazon Music. His personal connection with the careers of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant continues to be a significant part of Jeff's legacy as a designer.
